Meet Holly. She is beautiful inside and out. Holly came to us as a stray during our first cold snap. She was painfully thin, but her heart was huge. From day one, she won us over. She's one of the sweetest dogs we've had, and we have had a lot of sweet ones. Holly loves people. She craves attention and soaks it up. She gives kisses, plays with toys, and sleeps like a pro on a cozy bed. She also does something we've never seen before. She squirms herself under a blanket to find her spot every night. When you pet Holly, she lights up. Her whole body wiggles. She does a full wiggle-butt dance, and it's impossible not to smile. She gets along great with other dogs and loves to play. She's loyal, gentle, and well-behaved. She prefers going outside to do her business. Holly is spayed, up to date on shots, and dewormed. Because she bonds closely with her people, we recommend a home with kids over age seven. We've seen zero aggression. She's just a devoted, loving girl. Holly is at the shelter and ready to meet you. Adoption fee: ($0) Adoption fees ($0) has been sponsored with approved application. Submit an application at www.icarearkansas.com/application. Or visit her Saturdays from 9am until noon at the ICARE shelter located at 214 Circle Drive, Melbourne, AR 72556. If you want a loyal best friend who will adore you every day, Holly is your girl.
